nowhere near the polarizing figure obama is. the idea that obama could have won over more republican votes i think is preposterous. >> i think that the critique from the left on the president, you talk to republicans, who were supported toomey, they are played the president was on the sidelines. the minute the president weighs into this debate, we can't deal with this. they wanted toomey. a great story i saw schumer working with pat toomey. before the press conference, i will stand with you at the podium, you and manchin. toomey said please, i don't want schumer standing by me at the podium because politics about this is so uneasy. i don't think the president would have done a lot to win republican votes. they have only so much room to roam on the right. if you start to tiptoe towards the center, the grassroots really start to pay attention. it gets delicate. that's why i think you see rubio, for instance, never going to get out on guns and immigration at the same time. >> we have -- we have a couple more we want to get to. ther
